I designed and 3D printed a gear shifter for my car. An engineer experienced with direct metal laser sintering wanted to to make his own out of titanium. In exchange for the model, he made me one as well. Read about how I barely managed to tap threads into it and see how you can do it yourself in a stainless steel version.

Using my knot software, I've created all kinds of knots. I've tied them myself, 3D printed them, and CNCed their patterns into knot mandrels. In this post, I show you how I used wooden dowels and 3D printed connectors to assemble a knot that forms a globe and has no beginning or end.

A globe knot is tied in such a way that it covers a spherical core. In this tutorial, I show you how to tie a 30 facet globe knot using rolled up cardboard, T-pins and a print out generated by my software.
